All for God! All through Holy Love!

Very dear sisters and the entire spiritual Family of Saint Marie Rivier,

It was with surprise that we learned this morning of the death of our dear Pope Francis. Yesterday, Easter Sunday, we heard his voice, we heard him address to the whole world a cry of Hope, Love and Peace for all.

Let us continue to remember his life, the gift he was for the Church and for our world. We give thanks to the Lord for his remarkable dedication to all people, and especially to the poor, the sick, the abandoned, the marginalized, the martyrs, those whose dignity as human beings is not respected. His message, his voice and his cry of love for humanity will remain engraved in our memories.

Let us give thanks for his message, a source of inspiration, and for the living testimony he left us during his stay on earth.

In union with the universal Church and all of humanity, we pray to Pope Francis to continue to intercede for all people in need and to obtain for us from Jesus, Prince of Peace, the gift of Reconciliation, Peace and Life.

May the Virgin Mary, Mother of Jesus and Mother of the Church, support us in Trust and Love. All, with one heart, were diligent in prayer, with women, with Mary the mother of Jesus (Acts 1:14).

The Holy Spirit continues to guide His Church on the paths of the will of God, Father of all humanity.

Well united in Communion and Hope,
Sister Maria dos Anjos Alves, p.m.
